Elite / Frontier Amiga Forever

With Elite Dangerous being successfully funded and my pledge coming out of my account this morning, I felt an overwhelming urge to play Frontier.

If you miss the old games of the Amiga and dont have access to legitimate ROMs for WIN(UAE) you can purchase a licensed copy from cloanto at http://www.amigaforever.com/ .

I have both Amiga Forever and C64 Forever (Plus Editions of both) and play old games on a regular basis.

I am not affiliated with Cloanto in any way.

I have these too GuruNot and can certainly recommend them both if you don't have an original machine. Both the C64 & the Amiga had some of the greatest games ever. :cool:

All seem worthy but ...

Although FS-UAE has the AROS ROM (which is also included with Amiga Forever) only Amiga Forever has licensed KickStart ROMS and Workbench.

I still think it is the best complete legal solution.

Even though the PC version had better graphics i think the Amiga version had a much better atmosphere for some strange reason.

There is certainly something that draws me this version more than any other.

I find that with a lot of the old Amiga Games to be honest, the graphics were what was capable at the time, where they excel is gameplay.

Gurunot: Have you managed to set up & run Frontier using FS-UAE without problem yet?

I tried running it but fails during start up on the launcher. I can successfully run Amiga's Frontier using WinUAE with some of the following:

cd32.adf & saves.adf
kickstart310.rom & rom.key
RAM Chip ~ 2MB
CPU Type ~ 68020
Display centered.

With these settings as a benchmark for FS-UAE, all I'm getting is a screen saying waiting for bootable media. Any suggestions?

I play both Elite & Frontier on both DOS & Amiga emulators and I do agree with you the Amiga version of Frontier is more atmospheric that the PC-Dos version.

Cheers

CRACKED IT!

After a bit of tweaking here & there, I managed to get it running. Got to say, it runs like a peach & full screen too.

The interface is amazing. Probably the best Amiga emulator there is.

:cool:

Yes, got it running straight away. Running under Amiga 1200 (68020) profile with both disks mapped. Tweaked the RAM a little too.

Glad to hear you cracked it too and I Agree that the interface is very nice, will keep it as my primary I think.

That intro for Frontier just blue me away when I first saw it. One of my favourite games at the time. I still have my A3000 tucked away in my wardrobe I think. I wonder how long it will be before it is actually worth something again? :)
